Narrative:
The pilot of floatplane SE-FGD took off from a pool of the Indalsälven river. With the nose held high, the low sun and haze impaired forward visibility. The aircraft got too close to a headland, ran aground, flipped over the nose, and ended up inverted in shallow water. Both occupants exited uninjured.
